WHAT'S THE BEST SECURITY CAMERA SYSTEM FOR YOUR HOME?

There are many security cameras and everyone has their favorite. These days there are many choices and all are decent.

You need to first look at your current setup and where you want to put them. For security cameras to be effective they need a clear field of view, or you need multiple cameras to cover all blind spots.

The next consideration is power. Solar really only works if they are placed in an open area with no trees or nothing overhead.

The final consideration is mounting. You want them at least waist height or higher in order to get the best coverage.

Doorbell cameras are great for porch pirates. Not so great to protect your vehicle as they can probably only see 1 side.

Consider an optimal setup of 1 doorbell camera for each entrance to your home, and 1 or more remote cameras for blind spots not covered by the doorbell cameras to cover your vehicle and/or shed

Finally, you should also keep the camera makes from the same manufacturer. Another words, get all ring cameras or all nest cameras so that you don't have to learn multiple applications.

Bonus tip. Add a yard sign
